"This boat has simliar lines to Outrigger Connections Fuze Fusion and Zephyr.
The Ma'a Afi has sharper chines and a flatter bottom."
"The Ma’a Afi was designed for more spread out conditions like in the Kaiwi Channel or smaller conditions. The Vantage is so good in tight wave conditions but its weakness is when its more spread out. It doesn’t get the carry you need in the channel. I think we achieved that with the Ma’a Afi. It slides into ground swell and carries really well. It has a soft, flat bottomed V cross-section that has alot of reserve bouyancy when you need it, but when its small its out of the water. Its got a super comfortable seat and a stable feel even when rigged light. I believe its the best all around canoe I’ve designed.
Another nice thing about the Ma’a Afi is that it does well rudderless. It has enough track to do it for long periods of time, even in the small bumps."
The boat is handcrafted in Hilo, HI.
